In Reception, we continue to follow the Early Years Foundation Stage. More information can be found on our Nursery pages.

In Key Stages 1 and 2, we follow the National Curriculum and prepare children for the 11+. More details can be found below by subject.

Core subjects
English	Mathematics	Science

Foundation subjects
Art & Design	Design Technology	Information & Communication Technology
History	Geography	Music
Religious Education	Physical Education	Personal Health and Social Education

Subjects are taught through topics.  Foundation subjects and Science are taught in blocks so that children can immerse themselves in the topics.  Topics are linked through an overarching ‘umbrella’ theme to enable children to make connections across the curriculum and to experience breadth and depth in their learning.  

Personal Health and Social Education

In Circle Time, assemblies and throughout each day, we talk to children about important issues, for example, keeping safe and healthy, caring for living things, how to be a good friend. 

Specialist Teaching

Physical Education

Children have weekly PE sessions with a specialist PE teacher. Dance, swimming, tennis and athletics are rotated with traditional team sports and skills activities to ensure pupils experience a wide variety of physical education.

Computing

Children are taught computing skills one-to-one and in groups with our ICT teacher using Chromebooks. They are also taught about online and cyber security in an age appropriate way.

Spanish

Our Spanish teacher uses games, stories, songs, rhymes and role play to introduce the children to Spanish words and phrases.

Music

Younger pupils learn singing and rhythm with our Music teacher and older children may learn recorder, ukulele in their class, depending on their age and the curriculum for their year group. We also provide individual piano, ukulele and guitar lessons for those who are interested in learning an instrument.
